Knowing the needs, we create opportunities

According to the Economic Strategy Center of Ukraine, to the end of January 2024 there are 280,000 refugees from Ukraine in the United States from the beginning of the full-scale invasion.


All of those people  inlacing the same challenges:


language barrier

employment

socializing 

A person who becomes a refugee faces a challenging journey of integration but is driven to regain stability and contribute meaningfully to the society they have joined

we invite to join us to make a meaningful difference together

Aid for Children Refuge

The initiative aims to create a difference in the quality of integration of refugee children from Ukraine in your city

The first years of adaptation are very difficult for refugee parents who are only at the beginning of social and financial stability in a new country. Thanks to the work of this initiative, we were able to join 10-year-old refugee Nina from Ukraine to the Texas Tennis Camp this Summer! And help her parents support their daughter's sports interest during a difficult time for their family
